"Are they here?" Henry asked Stacy who just walked into his office. She was wiping the frame of her spectacles with a white handkerchief."Yes sir. Are you guys having the meeting here or should I direct them to the conference room?" replied Stacy."Show them in. We can have the meeting here in my office.

"Listen to me" Eve spat and pointed two fingers at him, shocking his two staff who were still in the room.In his mind, Henry kept praying that Eve doesn't speak about the one-night stand. He had hoped she wouldn't talk about it and maybe with the way things were going, he might have to swallow his pride and apologise to her to save his face."Such audacity." Henry heard one of his staff whisper to the other. He knew they were shocked at Eve's boldness."I wanted to be the bigger person. I wanted to shut the fuck up but you decided to act like a piece of shit by ruining my interview." continued Eve. It then dawned on Henry that cancelling Eve's interview was a bad idea. He signalled to the staff in his office to excuse them.The two men stood up and headed out. Henry knew the news of the drama ongoing in his office will soon spread around the various corners of the building like a wildfire.He crashed on his chair. "What do you want, Eve? You wanted to create a scene. Well, congratula

Jen was sitting by the edge of Olivia’s bed, watching her tie her long brown hair into a knot. ”I just can’t believe that all these happened to Eve in a week, damn I feel sorry for her.”Jen and Eve had been close friends for over two years now. Eve met Jen through Olivia and had since then considered Jen her friend. Jen works at the state museum and is always on tours collecting artefacts. She was in the Philippines a week ago and had just learnt about Eve’s ordeal through Olivia.Olivia pulled out plain trousers from her wardrobe. “Devin is a jerk.” She cursed and went for a red top.Jen sighed. “Sometimes I wonder what men want. I mean, who would cheat on a lady like Eve? Someone that beautiful, sexy and ambitious. Devin is a dick.” She said."The asshole cheated on his fiancee instead. They've been together for six years, I heard.""That's pathetic."“I’m certain that Eve will get this job.” Olivia confidently stated and grabbed her purse. Jen stood up and left the bedroom.“Ev

Eve stretched both her legs on the bed and rested her back on the wall. She looked up to the ceiling and wondered how she would have coped with the entire emotional trauma if her parents were in the city with her. Maybe she would have healed quickly, she thought, because she wasn’t going to let her parents find out about her state. She thought about her father and what kind of groceries he was purchasing at that moment. Ever since her mother fell ill, her father had been doing the best he could when her little sister was working. Eleanor, her seventeen-year-old sister works as a waitress in one of the restaurants across their street in Texas. She had just finished high school. Eve's elder brother Berry is a nuisance and she barely talks about him.Eve sighed and felt grateful that the conversation with her mother was a brief one. She was glad the woman didn’t ask about her relationship or more details about work. Being the breadwinner, she couldn’t bring herself to tell her mother t

"In just two hours, about fifteen women have joined Henry's virtual hate club?" Olivia gasped."Amazing right? I can't believe it. " Eve marvelled. She sighed and placed the laptop on her left."Henry or whatever he calls himself sure knows how to use his dick. Damn! Fifteen already?" commented Jen.Olivia sighed. "Not just fifteen. There might be other women out there who are scared to make a move.""With fifteen, I can take him down." Eve declared with her eyes fixed on the laptop.An hour later, Even saw Olivia and Jen off. She returned to her apartment feeling excited that Plan C worked. She sat by the edge of the bed, crossed her legs and mumbled."Time to meet the women."Even grabbed her laptop, placed it on her thighs and swung into action. She thanked the women for declaring their interest and didn't waste time informing them about the aim of the group.Eve told the women that she aimed to exert revenge on Henry stating that she was a victim like them. To hasten the process s

Anna crossed her legs and looked up. "You should have seen the way I was carrying my head around the office because I was banging the boss. He even promised to see my parents." She hit the table, causing the glasses of wine to shake. "It all brings us to one thing," Eve said."What?""His wife. It's obvious Henry loves his wife and is hiding his schemes from her.""She's the highlight of every story here." Sherry agreed with a nod."Then we bring the stories to the limelight and spray the garment of her husband's shame before her," Xiana said"Exactly!" Eve screamed.They all chorused excitedly. "Yeah!""What's the next step?" Jasmine asked and went for her wine glass for the first time."We need to find his wife," Eve suggested."It's obvious he is keeping her a secret.""That's true because when I ask him to show me his wife after he broke off our affair, he didn't and when I persisted, he threatened to fire me and release our sex tape afterwards. I didn't even know he made a tape

"Do you guys know he is married?" Eve asked the clients with a smile. The clients nodded reluctantly. "You guys are lucky you found out or maybe because it won't do any harm to you if he tells you but you see, as his women, we got to find out about his marital status when he was screwing us," Seoul explained"You must be thinking what kind of shameless women we are, talking about the shit we did in secret here but you see, Mr. Richard told none of us he was married, thus he played us all," Eve said.Dane's gaze was fixed on the wall while Henry's head was lowered. "Do you think a man who can't handle women can handle a business?" continued Eve."Shut up Eve." Henry barked and at that moment, he didn't care whether people were watching or not. "A man with so many sexcapades like that. Is that a man you want to do business with?" Capri said and cackled."He should be endorsing condoms instead of pharmaceuticals."

Dane had invited Olivia that evening to the cafe so they could review their plans for the wedding. "Do you want anything?" He asked and pointed to the menu card. Olivia waved her hand down. "I'm good." Dane reclined on the chair. "You'll rather starve than have a drink with me don't you?" She broke into a laugh and grabbed the menu card. "You know what Dane? You have a way of cracking me up even when I'm being a tough girl." He sat up and blinked at her. "Maybe I was created

"So what's your plan? Staying all day in bed without a job till you have the baby?' Mrs Bloom raised her voice at Eve.Eve was sprawled on the bed, facing her phone. She was having a video call with her mother."Eve, if you don't want to get a job then at least you can tell Henry about the baby. He should have thought about his marriage before putting the baby there.""Come on mom!'"I'm serious, Eve. Child support is necessary. Meanwhile, I'm not happy with the fact that you planned to raise this baby alone. I didn't raise you alone so my grandbaby deserves a father." Mrs Bloom went on ranting.Eve sighed and stroked her forehead. "I have enough funds in my savings account that can cater for the baby so you don't have to worry about that and about speaking to Henry, I'll do that when the time is right.""You better do so.""Have you told dad about it?"Mrs Bloom arched a brow. "Didn't you say you'll do that yourself?"Eve gave repeated nods. "I'll come home mom and I'll tell him ever

Dane pulled his sports car to a halt at the entrance to the parking lot and quickly stepped out."This better be good." He muttered under his breath and charged toward Olivia who was standing under a lemon tree, a few meters away from the park entrance.It was a few minutes past 6 pm and about fifteen minutes earlier, Olivia had called Dane and asked her to meet with him, stating that they needed to speak urgently.He got to the spot she was standing and instantly flashed a smile at her. Why the hell was he grinning like a clown Olivia wondered and quickly turned away after a smirk.Dane cleared his throat loudly and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He was not the kind of man who was used to putting his perfect set of dentition on display and he couldn't tell why he got excited and had to smile at the sight of Olivia.Olivia adjusted the leather bag hanging around her left arm and began taking steps toward Dane. He remained rooted to his spot and felt like the ground was going to

Eve took sluggish steps toward the door. She had been avoiding them for quite a long time and she knew that the sooner she faced them, the better for her sanity.She stood by the door for several seconds and tried to keep her breath in check. She didn't see who was banging on her door but she could bet that it was either Olivia or Jen.After exhaling twice, she opened the door and saw the ladies standing outside. She flashed a quick smile at them and before she could usher them into the house, they flew in.She slammed the door behind her and turned to face their inquisitive faces. They were both folding their arms across their chests and staring at her like an owl."And why the hell was your phone off for two days?" Olivia flung the question at her.Eve sighed and moved to the twin couch."Some ladies from your hate club had been blowing up my phone. I don't even know why I gave them my phone number in the first place." Jen lamented.She moved to the couch and settled next to Eve by

Eve was glad that she had spoken to her mother. She was feeling a bit relieved and was glad that her mother didn't judge or condemn her. Mrs Bloom was sensitive enough to realize that at that moment, Eve needed all the support and comfort she could get.*****"I'm so happy to see you!" Phil declared and almost pulled her to the floor because he had immersed her in a tight hug. Eve smiled and hugged him. If she had her way, she would have pulled him away because she woke up that morning feeling edgy. She attributed the sudden feeling to pregnancy hormones."I never thought you would show up today," Phil commented after they broke off the embrace. "You need rest Eve. You can count on me to handle things while you are recuperating. Remember, health is wealth." Eve gave a warm smile and folded her arms across her chest. Who would have thought that she could get along with Phil? Two weeks ago, they could barely stand each other."Thank you so much, Phil." She replied. She was going to mi

Eve shut her eyes and opened them immediately. Just when she thought that she was hallucinating, she realized that the doctor was still standing by her bed.He kept the file he was holding next to her on the bed and left after flashing a bright smile.Even grabbed the file with trembling hands and her gaze instantly fell on the result after she opened it. She shut the file after a gasp and quickly turned away.She was fucking pregnant!"Damn it!" She muttered under her breath and squeezed the bedsheet. Her head began to spin in circles. She was carrying Henry's baby. According to the report, the doctor handed it over to her, she was three weeks gone.Whether she was three weeks gone, a month or two months gone, it was certain as death that the baby she is carrying is Henry's.He was the only man she had been with and on countless occasions, they had been together without using protection even though there were times she took pills, there were a few times she skipped the pills.She th

The continuous ringing of Eve's phone caused her to open her heavy eyes.She picked up the call."Hey!""Hey, baby. How is my gorgeous damsel doing this morning?" came Darcy's voice.The statement didn't provoke a smile on her face and neither did her cheeks turn red. She was even shocked at her reaction."I'm doing great Darcy." She replied and rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her left palm.Did she just say, Darcy? She cleared her throat loudly. "How are you doing babe?"The phone speaker filtered Darcy's chuckle. "I'm good. You are having a work-free day?"Eve arched a brow. "A work-free day? It's not weekend.""And you are still not at work?"Eve glanced at the wall clock hanging above her. Her eyes widened in horror."Jeez!" She screamed. It was a few minutes to 9 am and she should have been at the office by now."I need to go now." She said and quickly hung up before Darcy could give a reply.She went through her phone and realised that the alarm she had set to awaken he

"Come in!" Henry responded from the inside and shut the file before him.Immediately after he lifted his head and realised that it was Eve who just walked into his office clinging to some documents, he lowered his head and opened the file he had shut earlier.She walked up to his desk. "Phil said you needed the transaction details of the cost of production for the week." She said without staring at him directly.He continued fiddling with the pages of the document before him. "And why didn't Phil obtain the document from the accounts department? Wasn't he the one I assigned the task to?" he asked without lifting his head.From that statement, Eve could tell that Henry wasn't expecting her and on the other hand, she didn't want to be in his office but she had to bring the report because Phil had a couple of other things to do."He's busy. You asked him to plan the annual meeting with the branch managers and also draft invitation letters." She reminded Henry.Lately, he had stopped assi

Eve cast her gaze to the entrance. She saw a man by the door lifting a phone to his face. Could he be her mystery man? She wondered and lowered the phone to her chest.Meanwhile, the man also lowered the phone to his chest and kept roving his eyes around the area."Pick the damn call!" Eve muttered under her breath and began taking strides toward the glass door.The man finally picked up the call and when he turned around, she froze.He placed his perfect set of dentition on display by flashing a bright smile. "You must be Eve?"She nodded repeatedly.He began taking steps toward her, maintaining the illuminating smile. He was devilishly handsome and was dressed in a gas-blue suit. Eve looked into his forest green eyes and darted her gaze to his expensive shoes. Olivia was right. The man was damn classy.When he got to Eve, he extended his right hand and ran his left hand through his blonde hair. "I'm Darcy."She remained rooted to her spot. She wondered whether she should smile, spea
